1. Alphacool Hose
Hoses are the lifelines of the water cooling system! Here is the latest generation from Alphacool. Deep, vibrant colors and pleasant handling during installation and connection were our goals in hose development. The product consists of hoses in various sizes and colors such as red, green, blue, or black. In developing the hoses, we consciously worked to ensure that no color particles from the coolant would burden the water cycle, but rather that the power of color emanates from the hose itself. Besides the color, the installation and bending behavior of the hoses is of great interest. Bridging tight bending radii and providing a comfortable handling in tricky spots were also prioritized. This has been optimized to perfection through various plastic mixtures, resulting in a hose that harmonizes the sometimes development-restricting, opposing goals and will impress both beginners and advanced water cooling users! Manufacturing in Germany promises consistently high quality. Years of experience in production ensure that only the best product is sold. Technical specifications: Material: PVC, Color: Transparent, Inner diameter: 10mm, 3/8", Outer diameter: 13mm, 5/8", Wall thickness: 1.5mm. Delivery includes: 1x Alphacool hose AlphaTube HF 13/10 (3/8"ID) - Clear 3m.

3. Alphacool Ice Tube 13/10mm Hard Tube Acrylic (PMMA) - Clear, 80cm ( Set of 4)
With the Ice Tube, the water cooling specialist Alphacool presents an interesting solution for water cooling enthusiasts. These are solid tubes made of acrylic plastic that can be cut to the required length by the user and bent to shape using a heat source.
This allows for the connection of individual water cooling components with longer, straight sections and precisely bent radii, providing an aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional connections using hoses.
The offered transparent Ice Tube comes in a set of four, with an outer diameter of 13 mm and an inner diameter of 10 mm. The length is 80 centimeters. The tubes are compatible with any hard tube fitting with a 13/10 mm OD/ID.
Note: Due to the package size, delivery to a DHL parcel station is not possible.

4. Alphacool Hardtube acrylic 13/10mm
The HardTube project is becoming a reality. Alphacool is taking new paths and making a clear statement! The most commonly used method for water cooling has been standard PVC hoses. Now, Alphacool offers another way to design a water cooling system. The HardTube variant brings even more order to the system, creating a much more structured impression. Brand new are the brass tubes, available in Black Chrome and Chrome. With the appropriate fittings and a very simple functionality, these can be connected or attached absolutely leak-proof. The acrylic tube can also be easily adjusted to the system with the right bending tool, without the need for additional angle pieces. To install the tubes into the system, they must be cut to the appropriate length. The following variants are available:
- HardTube 13/10mm clear acrylic 20cm, 40cm, 60cm, and 80cm
- HardTube 13/10mm brass chrome 20cm and 40cm
- HardTube 13/10mm brass deep black 20cm and 40cm
- HardTube 16/12mm clear acrylic 20cm, 40cm, 60cm, and 80cm
Note: Due to the custom-fit tubes, the fittings must be pushed on with a bit of force. Delivery includes: 1x 80cm acrylic tube. Caution: Not compatible with Monsoon fittings. Note: Alphacool recommends using distilled water for optimal operation of the water cooling system!.

With the right bending tool, the acrylic tubes can be easily adapted to your system. This saves on fittings and achieves a clean look.
Technical details:
- Color: Transparent
- Material: Acrylic (PMMA)
- Length: 60 cm (total 240 cm)
- Outer diameter: 13 mm, 1/2"
